Meet The Directors:
Ed & Sally Jeffery
On August 21, 2008 Sally and I acknowledged our long felt desire to open a men’s transitional home and recovery center, and laid it before the Lord. On August 23, 2008 there was a message on my phone from a friend stating a piece of property was available to do something good for the community and were we interested. This began the journey of Isaiah House.
